Evodiamine (Evo) is an alkaloid that can be extracted from the berry fruit and has been reported to exert various pharmacological effects, such as antidiarrheal, antiemetic and antiulcer effects. , the potential effects of Evo were investigated in a...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the gastrointestinal tract. While therapies exist, response can be limited within the patient population. Researchers have thus studied mouse models of colitis to further unders...

Developments in deep learning have resulted in computer-aided diagnosis for many types of cancer. Previously, pathologists manually performed the labeling work in the analysis of colon tissues, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Result...
The modified Norfolk and Norwich technique allows to replace a 12 mm port incision site by an 8 mm one, therefore reducing potential postoperative complications linked to 12 mm incisions by robotically stapling through the routinely placed suprapubic...
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease in childhood whose diagnosis requires expertise in dermatology. Recent studies have indicated that host genes-microbial interactions in the gut contribute to human diseases including AD. We sought to de...
Most patients with Crohn disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, experience recurrence despite treatment, including surgical resection. However, methods for predicting recurrence remain unclear. This study aimed to predict post...
Pixel-wise error correction of initial segmentation results provides an effective way for quality improvement. The additional error segmentation network learns to identify correct predictions and incorrect ones. The performance on error segmentation ...
BACKGROUND: Colon cancer resection can be technically difficult in the obese (OB) population. Robotic surgery is a promising technique but its benefits remain uncertain in OB patients. The aim of this study is to compare OB versus non-obese (NOB) pat...
Tortuosity of the colon is an important parameter for predicting the course of colonoscopy. Computed tomography scans of the abdominal cavity were performed in 224 (94 female, 130 male) adult subjects. The number of acute (angle not exceeding 90°) be...
